Sorry for just a partial answer, but I'm mainly (just) an XCP user

It can edit grub2 grub.cfg too. It is very useful in case someone has 
made her/his PV DomU unbootable. It mounts a partition from the DomU 
disk and launches an editor which edits the grub config file, after it 
gets closed, unmounts the partition and finishes.
